Alexander Cunnigham, the first Director-General of the Archaeological Survey of India is often called the father of Indian Archaeology. This book of Major Cunningham is very important to know the true history of India. It is due to the tireless efforts of Sir General Major Cunningham that the real history of India has come before the world. On the basis of historical documents of Hiuen Tsang and Fa Hien, he studied all the sites of Maurya period and Buddhist period of India and excavated many of them.
